Reseller Businesses need at least a sellers permit. This is because all sales of any type of merchandise is taxable. For example, Prince Williams and Princess Kate have a baby girl and start their new life as parents. However, Snowden, from Russia, reveals some British Royal Family secrets, the UK crumbles and Prince Williams loses everything. To support Kate and the baby girl, he starts a business on eBay selling royal antique stuff from whatever he has in the new ghetto house he lives in London with Kate. Well, if he started an ebay Reseller business in the USA, he would have to become a sole owner, partnership, corporation or LLC by filing a pertinent certificate. Then William will have to get a general business license, and also register the business name with a dba business name certificate also called an assumed business name ( "We Used To Be Kings eBay Sales," ) if that name is not registered as an LLC or corporation. If Princess Kate becomes a Reseller partner, they will have to get a federal tax ID and file a dba, form an LLc or incorporate. After setting up with all of the above licenses and tax ID, William can start selling Royal paraphernalia on eBay.

Additional Considerations

Resale Permit (Optional): If you purchase items in bulk to resell on Amazon, a resale permit allows you to buy these products wholesale without paying sales tax upfront. You'll then collect sales tax from your customers. Reasoning: A resale permit saves you money on initial purchases and ensures you collect the correct amount of sales tax (if applicable).

Business Name Registration (Optional): While not mandatory for sole proprietorships, registering your business name protects your right to use it commercially and can help establish brand identity. Reasoning: Business name registration prevents others from using your chosen name and provides some legal protection for your brand, even as a sole proprietor.

Home-Based Business Permit (Possible): Some locations might require a permit for operating a home-based business. This ensures your workspace meets safety standards for storing and packaging products. Reasoning: A home-based business permit ensures you comply with zoning regulations and basic safety guidelines for operating your Amazon reselling business out of your home.

Business Structure (Optional):

LLC or S Corporation (Consider): While you operate as a sole proprietor now, forming an LLC (Limited Liability Company) or S corporation can offer personal liability protection in the future. This separates your finances from the business and may provide tax benefits. Reasoning: An LLC or S corporation structure can protect your personal assets from liabilities related to your Amazon business, especially if your business grows significantly. Consider consulting with a business advisor for guidance on choosing a business structure.

Remember: Regulations can vary significantly by location. It's crucial to conduct thorough research to confirm the exact licenses, permits, and tax requirements for your specific location and reselling business on Amazon.

Seller's Permit or Resale License

Business Identifications

A resale ID differs from a wholesale ID - they serve distinct purposes. A resale ID allows you to purchase items tax-free that you intend to resell to customers, while a wholesale ID enables purchases directly from manufacturers and distributors at wholesale pricing. For a sunless tanning business, both IDs could be beneficial since you'll be reselling products and potentially sourcing supplies at wholesale rates.

Required Licenses and Registrations

Business Operation License

Cosmetology or Esthetician License

Home Occupation Permit

Sales Tax Permit

Mobile Business Permit

Retail Vendor License

Additional Considerations

For operating both a mobile and home-based sunless tanning service, you'll need specific permits for each operational model. The mobile aspect requires particular attention to ensure proper licensing for providing services at various locations. Your home-based operations necessitate permits addressing zoning requirements and business activities conducted from a residential property. The resale of products requires separate documentation from the service-related permits.

You'll need several key elements:

General business license

Seller's permit for retail sales

Cosmetology/esthetician license (varies by location)

Business Structure & Registration

Your business model involves both services and retail sales. An LLC structure provides liability protection while maintaining tax flexibility. The EIN (Employer Identification Number) functions as your business's social security number - essential for taxes, banking, and wholesale accounts.     A:   You also need other licensing for hookah lounge.  Here is How To Start: First, you need a  General Business License   is because all entities need a business license and that is because all businesses need, well, a business license.   (Note that that is not a specific license to your type of business it is a BUSINESS license) as well.

    The specific license you need is called a seller's permit because you will need it to buy hookah lounge materials wholesale and sell them retail.     Note that "All Selle," is a fictitious business name so you need to register it with a DBA (doing business as) certificate, an LLC or corporation.  Since you said  you want a FL LLC, then the LLC will register your fictitious business name.       If you want to buy any taxable merchandise such as jewelry or clothing at wholesale prices to make jewelry to re-sell, or to buy clothing and accessories to resell them, then you need state sellers permit or sales tax license also called a resale license.



   States Require A Sellers Permit

      This is because most states require jewelry vendors to collect tax on sales made within that state as opposed to out of state.  For example, you are in California and you sell a piece of jewelry, e.g., a gold ring, to a New Yorker.  Since your business is located in CA, you do not need to charge taxes.



Selling in-state requires that you charge sales tax

       On the other hand, if you sell in California you need to charge sales tax on every retail sale that’s shipped to any address within California.   So if you are selling your jewelry,  get your sellers permit also called a resale license.   There is no other way to buy wholesale and re-sell retail.  The implication is that even if you sell just wholesale, you still need to get the resale license.



         Anytime you run into a state inspection, the state it will you to show proof that tax-exempt sales are indeed sold to vendors with a valid Seller’s Permit. Unless you had a valid resale license at the time of the sale, you will have to pay the taxes or penalties of the sales without a resale license. Things are that harsh.

          For instance, you are located in Texas, and you try to buy wholesale from Pennsylvania, despite that you will not sell in PA, you will need  a resale certificate to produce to the wholesaler to make sure your can re-sell the items purchased wholesale.
